With just weeks left before a January 30th government funding deadline, radical progressive Democrats are plotting to weaponize the shutdown threat to cripple President Trump's immigration enforcement operations through ICE.
The far-left wing of the Democratic Party is seizing on a recent ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis as their justification to gut the agency that's been instrumental in Trump's America First immigration agenda. These are the same progressives who spent years calling to "abolish ICE" entirely.
Social media is erupting over the Democrats' latest sabotage attempt. One user posted: "DEMOCRATS HATE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC! Progressives Push Government Shutdown to Defund ICE After Minneapolis Shooting," highlighting the party's anti-American stance.
According to reports, progressives see the funding cliff as leverage to restrain what they call a "lawless agency," with lawmakers saying they cannot support a Department of Homeland Security budget that doesn't curb ICE powers. Translation: they want to tie the hands of the very agency protecting American communities from criminal aliens.
Deep State Resistance Continues
This shutdown threat represents the latest example of the Democratic Party's continued resistance to the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly voted for Trump's immigration enforcement policies in 2024. Instead of supporting the deportation of criminal aliens, these radical progressives would rather shut down the entire government.
The timing is no coincidence. With Trump's mass deportation operations ramping up and ICE successfully removing dangerous criminals from American streets, Democrats are getting desperate to protect their imported voter base.
Venezuela operations - likely referring to efforts to repatriate Venezuelan nationals who entered illegally - are also in the crosshairs of these America-last politicians who prioritize foreign nationals over American citizens.

Patriots across the country are watching to see if Republicans will cave to this extortion or stand firm behind President Trump's mandate to secure our borders and protect American communities from criminal aliens.
